TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the field of cosmetic packaging, and in particular relates to a cosmetics container.

BACKGROUND

At present, makeup has become an indispensable part of people's daily life, and the form of cosmetics is also varied, such as powder, liquid, paste and so on. In order to facilitate the use of cosmetics, people generally make different cosmetics into different shapes and fit them in appropriate containers. Powdery cosmetics, such as lipstick, lip cream, concealer, skin whitening bar and sunscreen stick, are generally designed and manufactured in a tube. At present, this type of tubular cosmetics container is generally made of a lid body and a base, and the lid body is detachably buckled on the base. To use it, the lid body is firstly lifted from the base, and then the cosmetic is rotated out through relative rotation for use. However, this type of tubular cosmetics container generally requires the user to operate with both hands, which is very inconvenient. At the same time, in the existing container, the amount of the cosmetics in the interior cannot be generally directly observed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention will be further described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

A cosmetics container, as shown in FIG. 1, includes an end lip 1, a cover 2, a spring 3, and a base 4. The base 4 includes an outer tube 401 and an inner tube 402 for accommodating cosmetics 6. A gap 403 is formed between the outer tube 401 and the inner tube 402. The outer tube 401 and the inner tube 402 are integrally formed. The spring 3 is disposed outside the inner tube 402 and is located in the gap 403. The cover 2 is sleeved over the inner tube 402. The bottom end of the cover 2 is connected to the top end of the spring 3 and can move up and down along the gap 403. The end lid 1 is snapped on the base 4. The inner tube 402 is provided with a barrier sheet 404 near the top of the inner tube 402. The barrier sheet 404 and the tube wall of the inner tube 402 form an accommodating cavity 405 for accommodating the cosmetics 6. The cosmetics container of this structure only needs to pull the end lid 1 away from the base 4 when in use, as shown in FIG. 2, and press the cover 2 downwards by hand, and the cover 2 moves downward relative to the inner tube 402 in the gap 403. As shown in FIG. 7, the cosmetics 6 contained in the inner tube 402 are exposed for use by the user. After use, the hand pressing the cover 2 is released, and the cover 2 can be returned under the action of the spring 3. As shown in FIG. 8, the structure is simple and easy to use. At the same time, the added cover 2 can further protect the cosmetics 6 contained in the inner tube 402. The cosmetics 6 are in the form of power strip.

In order to make the end lid 1 more stable when being snapped into the outer tube 401, the outer tube 401 is further provided with a protrusion 408 on the outer wall thereof. The inner wall of the end lid 1 near the bottom end is provided with an annular neck 102. The protrusion 408 and the annular neck 102 can be snap-fitted with each other. The number of protrusions 408 is at least three. When the end lid 1 is snapped down on the outer tube 401, the protrusion 408 is right inserted into the annular neck 102. When the end lid 1 is pulled out forcefully, the protrusion 408 can be disengaged from the annular neck 102.

In order to facilitate the fastening of the end lid 1 when being snapped to the outer tube 401 and limit the movement distance thereof, the outer tube 401 comprises a front end portion 4011 and a main body portion 4012. The front end portion 4011 has a smaller outer diameter than the main body portion 4012. The protrusion 408 is located on the outer wall of the front end portion 4011. A boss 407 is formed between the outer wall of the front end portion 4011 and the outer wall of the main body portion 4012. The boss 407 is located below the protrusion 408. The bottom end of the end lid 1 can be abutted against the boss 407. Therefore, the arrangement of the boss 407 acts as a limit.

In order that the spring 3 is in a compressed state and the cover 2 moves downward relative to the inner tube 402 when the end lid 1 is snapped, a first annular inner rim 101 may be opened on the inner wall of the end lid 1 near the bottom end. The first annular inner rim 101 is located above the annular neck 102. The outer wall of the front end of the cover 2 is provided with a first annular outer rim 201. The top end of the first annular outer rim 201 can be abutted against the bottom of the first annular inner rim 101. The bottom end of the first annular outer rim 201 can be abutted against the top end of the front end portion 4011. The spring 3 is in a compressed state. In order to further function to fix and limit the cover 2, a second annular outer rim 202 may be provided on the outer wall of the cover 2 near the bottom end. A second annular inner rim 409 may be provided on the inner wall of the outer tube 401. The second annular outer rim 202 and the second annular inner rim 409 can be snap-fitted with each other.

The end lid 1 and the cover 2 of this structure cooperate. As shown in FIG. 3, when the end lip 1 and the base 4 are in a snapped state, the bottom of the first annular inner rim 101 of the inner wall of the end lid 1 is abutted against the top end of the first annular outer rim 201 of the cover 2 to compress the spring 3. The entire cover 2 moves downwards relative to the inner tube 402. The bottom end of the first annular outer rim 201 is abutted against the front end 4011 of the end lid 1. The second annular outer rim 202 and the second annular inner rim 409 are engaged with each other, so that the cover 2 can be further fixed and limited. Thus the structure is simple and easy to operate. The method of using the cosmetics container of this structure can be briefly described as: the end lid 1 is pulled upwards forcefully, under the spring force of the spring 3, the second annular outer rim 202 is disengaged from the second annular inner rim 409, so that the entire cover 2 moves upward relative to the inner tube 402, and then the cover 2 is pressed downward again, so that the cosmetics 6 in the inner tube 402 can be used by being exposed.

In addition, a bottom lid 5 may also be included. A countersink opening 406 is provided at the bottom of the base 4. The bottom lid 5 is embedded in the opening 406. The cosmetics container of this structure is easy to disassemble and install, and is easy to use.

For ease of viewing, the cover 2 is of a transparent material structure. The cover 2 of this transparent material structure allows the user to observe the concealed cosmetics 6 without removing it, and is easy to use.

In order to protect the cosmetics 6, both the end lid 1 and the base 4 have a dark-colored material structure. The end lid 1 and the base 4 of the dark-colored material structure can further protect the cosmetics 6 and prevent their deterioration due to light irradiation.
